Detailed Profile in English

About me

My name is Lauren. I was born in Argentina, and moved to the States when I was 13 years old. I am 23 years old at the moment.

One of my greatest passions is traveling. I have lived in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and the United States. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to travel and live in many countries, which helps me appreciate different cultures and languages.

I love communicating with people from all over the world, especially when I am able to help them learn another language.

Qualifications & Experience

I just recently graduated from the University of California, Davis, where I majored in English and Economics. I also have my TESOL certification.

I begun tutoring students while I was in High School, helping mostly ESL students with their assignments, and helping other students with different subjects. I also tutored students while I attended University. I was part of the Study Abroad program at UCD, and I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina to study at UBA (Universidad de Bs. As.).

While I was living and studying in Argentina, I worked for an English Institute, teaching students of all different levels, from beginner to advanced, and I also had different types of classes: one-on-one, group, conversational, and reading comprehension.

Teaching Approach

I believe that the teacher should adapt to the student’s needs, so my method of teaching is which ever one you would find more helpful; whether it is reading and writing, conversations, fill ins or visual learning.

As a teacher, I like to set time lines with the student, so that we can always know what to expect from the next class, and also track the progress from the beginning.
